Rode this yesterday; lots of fun. Was definitely dragging my pegs on a number of turns, and even catching some of the vegetation growing out of the cliffs on some of the inside turns. As a previous reviewer said, you never really get out of second gear. Some fantastic views of Lake Lure if you can stop for a minute to appreciate; no time for looking while you are riding though, too many tight turns. Definitely worth the ride.

This road is a terrific twisty ride.
Scenic? I don't know, I was busy watching the road.
Downsides: The road surface is decent, however this road has a LOT of residences along it and there are numerous areas with gravel and dirt in the corners.
Without this, it world certainly rival Tail of the Dragon or any other road in its fun factor.
I gave it a 4 rating, from a sport bike rider's perspective, because of the gravel and dirt in a few corners.
Someone on a cruiser who is out for a leisurely ride with a LOT of twists may rate this a 5 if they like a LOT of curves or they might consider it a 1 because they scraped up their floor boards trying to navigate some of the sharper corners while trying to maintain enough speed just to stay stable.

This road was worthwhile. Surface was clean almost perfect. It may be a bit challenging for a bagger or a Touring bike. You won't be taking your eyes off this road not for one second . Definitely gives the dragon a run for its money, maybe better
Corners may even be tighter. no problem with Leo.

Really curvy and a slow road!! Some great views of Lake Lure and you get to drive across the dam, which was built in 1925. Food available in Lake Lure and this is not far from NC 9 into Black Mountain, which is a great bike road also.
